As one of the largest wallabies, it can easily be mistaken for a kangaroo. - given that the line between something being a wallaby and a kangaroo is completely arbitrary in this genus, surely it is not mistaken for a kangaroo but sometimes considered one.

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Macropus rufogriseus rufogriseus Juvenile 2.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on September 1, 2011. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2011-09-01. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng { chat} 19:11, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Grutness: please see
WP:NONDEF: a defining characteristic is one that reliable, secondary sources commonly and consistently define, in prose, the subject as having. [...] if the characteristic would not be appropriate to mention in the lead portion of an article, it is probably not defining;
. Being a symbol of a county or other polity is certainly not a defining characteristics of an animal species, ergo it shouldn't be in the
Category:Waimate District. Including the wallaby in a category of a New Zealand district certainly opens a can of worms — otherwise, imagine the number of potential categories at
Lion or
Eagle. Of course, I don't mind mentioning
Waimate District in running text; if you can find more examples, maybe a new section like "Cultural significance" would be justified (compare
Lion#Cultural significance).
